Five Players To Watch During Overwatch League Week 2
Alarm is a highly touted flex-support player coming into the league this season and should make an impact for the Philadelphia Fusion immediately. He has the opportunity to be one of the bright, young stars of the league with skill capable of matching the best flex-supports in the league like Sung-hyeon "JJoNak" Bang and Jooseok "Twilight" Lee. The Fusion built a really strong roster this season and Alarm was a big piece of that. Expect him to show what he is made of early and of
It's interesting that these silhouettes don't resemble any characters who've been introduced in the game's lore and appear to be brand new designs. There are still multiple individuals who have been seen in the various stories in the Overwatch world and have yet to become playable, such as Mauga, the Junker Queen, and the mysterious omnic at the end of this year's Archives ev
The first online-only BlizzCon kicked off today with an announcement-filled opening ceremony. The livestream featured updates, reveals, surprises, and new game announcements, including some that are already available today. Here's a look at everything announced during the BlizzConline 2021 opening cerem
If you’re a free-to-play Overwatch 2 player, you only get 20 items from the seasonal battle pass. Overwatch 2 seasons last nine weeks, so it would take you just over 20 years of consistently completing every battle pass to earn the same number of items I got from Overwatch’s loot boxes. If you’re willing to upgrade to the premium battle pass, which gives you all 80 items, you’ll catch up to me in a little over five years - and it will only cost you $500. I’m doing napkin math here. I haven't factored in the 60 Coins you can earn a week or whatever we might get for free from seasonal events, but you can see my po
The 2020 season of the Overwatch League is in full swing and will continue to ramp things up during its second weekend in Philadelphia. The opening weekend showcased some incredible matches and an even deeper pool of talent than ever before. We predict that these are players to watch throughout the second weekend of the Overwatch Lea
Gargoyle was a strong off-tank for the Contenders team Armament and was brought up to the Florida Mayhem in the latter half of the 2019 season. He played well on Roadhog during that time but he is known for being a good off-tank in the 3-3 meta which raises questions about his ability to play in 2-2-2 comps at a similar high level. He is more than capable of it, though and D.Va play is important in the league at the moment. If Gargoyle steps up, the Florida Mayhem may surprise some people this sea
After the massive announcement of Overwatch 2 tips|https://overwatch2fans.com/ 2 was made at Blizzcon, we found out a little more about the highly anticipated sequel. We know that multiple new maps are coming, as well as a co-op story mode, and two new heroes: Echo and Sojo
Eqo was a major factor during Philadelphia's Grand Finals run in the 2018 season of the Overwatch League. His versatility and smart decision making paired well with superstar DPS teammate Jae-hyeok "Carpe" Lee making them one of the best duos at the time. Both had a downturn in 2019 thanks to unfavorable metas and stuck on heroes neither quite knew how to play. If the Fusion want to make a deep run this year, Eqo will need to play to his 2018 potential. Let's see what happens over the weekend and hopefully he won't be stuck in Mei jail like he was at the end of 2
But with the release of Overwatch 2 and its debut season less than two weeks away, we now have a concrete picture of how the experience will play out, as well as how much it differs from what came before. This isn’t a premium product anymore, but instead a free game that anyone can download, jump into, and have a reasonably good time without spending a penny. There’s a free version of the battle pass too, albeit with far fewer rewards and a focus on grinding things out over a prolonged period of time, but it’s there, and that kinda rules.
It will be interesting seeing MekO in a Houston Outlaws jersey. He was a steady pillar through two strong season for the New York Excelsior but now he gets a fresh start with a team capable of surprising some people. His playstyle differs from a lot of other top-tier off-tanks in the league so all eyes will be on him this weekend to see if he was a product of the Excelsior's coordinated team play or if he can be a difference-maker outside of that atmosphere. The Outlaws will need him to perform well not only this weekend but the entire season for them to be taken seriou
Before you post this on your angry gamer subreddit, hear me out. I think paid video game loot boxes are vile. They are predatory in nature, designed to exploit players and obscure the real cost of in-game items. I think every country in the world should outlaw them, and I’m glad Overwatch got rid of them. At the same time, Overwatch 2’s monetization is terrible. In the transition to free-to-play, we lost the ability to earn things for free. Though I’m mostly positive on the gameplay changes, it’s hard to ignore that Overwatch 2’s progression is worse in almost every way. I don't love admitting it, but Overwatch was better off with loot bo
